Cooking time: 15 min

Pastry cream

50 cl milk
5 egg yolks
40 g potato starch
90 g sugar
6 cl Grand Marnier

Soufflé

8 egg whites
50 g caster sugar + 20 g for the ramekin
Grand Marnier
Butter
Powdered sugar

1 - Make a crème pâtissiè;re: beat the egg yolks with the sugar and potato starch in a mixing bowl. Bring the milk to the boil, pour over the previous mixture, then pour back into the pan and boil for 2 min, stirring constantly. Allow to cool, then stir in the Grand Marnier.

2 - Prepare the ramekins: brush 6 ramekins with butter, then add caster sugar to coat the sides of the ramekins with sugar, to help the soufflé rise.

3 - To make the soufflé: whip the egg whites stiff with a mixer, then add 50g caster sugar to stiffen the whites. Pour the crème pâtissière into a bowl, fold in the egg whites and mix until smooth and creamy.

4 - Preheat oven to 190°C (gas mark 6-7). Mix to a smooth, lump-free consistency. Ladle the mixture into the ramekins and bake for approx. 10 min.

5 - Presentation: once out of the oven, dust the soufflés with powdered sugar and add some Grand Marnier for those with a sweet tooth.
